Item Positioning

[herald83]

How might one more finely specify the positioning of items on the floor/altars/alcoves? Say, for example, I wanted to hide a key under a tattered cloak, and put them both off to the right side of an alcove, while placing a knife to the left side so it is clearly visible. I thought this might be possible via scripting, but the editor certainly doesn't allow for such placement.

not sure about alcoves, but on the ground it's:
itemid:setSubtileOffset(x, y)

I'm afraid there's no such feature in alcoves/altars and I can't think of a way to circumvent the limitation right off the top of my head either.

Try these:

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
name = "dungeon_alcove_left",
baseObject = "dungeon_alcove",
anchorPos = vec(-0.4,0.85,0.2),
targetPos = vec(-0.5,0.85,0.2),
targetSize = vec(0.25,1,0.25)
}

cloneObject{
name = "dungeon_alcove_right",
baseObject = "dungeon_alcove",
anchorPos = vec(0.4,0.85,0.2),
targetPos = vec(0.5,0.85,0.2),
targetSize = vec(0.25,1,0.25)
}

cloneObject{
name = "dungeon_alcove_center",
baseObject = "dungeon_alcove",
targetPos = vec(0,0.85,0.2),
targetSize = vec(0.25,1,0.25)
}

Paste them into the objects.lua file. You can stack them on top of each other without worrying about z-fighting.

Good thing for the new map reload button, took a lot of tries to get the click box right.
